I vote UZI. I own a Group/Vector full-size, have had it for over 20 years. I had a m11/9 and sold it. Shot plenty of Laged out MACs and while nice, they don’t do it for me as a collector. The Uzi does it for me as a collector and a shooter. It’s not flexible like a MAC, but I don’t care. I have an M16 and HK sears for flexibility. I appreciate the Uzi for what it is, an iconic SMG that’s a great shooter in its own right with inexpensive widely available mags and (at least for now) good availability of spare parts.
It really comes down to what YOU want. Do you have the ability to buy more MGs in the future? Are you a collector, a shooter, or both? If you will only own one and want maximum flexibility, the MAC is it.

Early model 723 carbine upper. Great upper. I have one.

Personally, I’d keep it if it matches your A2 lower. I assume you mean it’s a 723 upper, not a 703? Is the upper receiver a C7 with brass deflector or an A1? Pencil contour 1:7?
It’s a rare upper, regardless of whether it was correctly represented/described. Unless you grossly overpaid for “new”, I say keep it.
Are people suggesting that a post-68, pre-86 import MG can be transferable if it was imported for a government agency? This is not something I’m familiar with and I’ve been into MGs for over 20 years.
I agree with others. Seems like a scam. I’d want to speak by FaceTime. Be sure ti hide your face so your likeness can’t be used later for nefarious purposes. And I’d speak with the alleged SOT. Then offer to fly out with funds to inspect and deliver funds in person.

Can you please share a link to the completed auction? How is she asking to be paid?
In addition to clear photos, ask for her name and the current date on a piece of paper in the photos.
I agree with other posters, this sounds scammy. Proceed with caution.
Very interesting. Thank you for posting that, Navgunner. From what I recall, Fleming’s sear in his RR FNCs looks similar to the registered S&H sear.
21 hours ago, Navgunner said:Yep… I personally have a PHX Arms RR. Also, I’m sure there’s at least one registered receiver that was built on a form one by an individual, but the owner would have to submit a FOIA to figure out more about it.
very cool. I’d love to see some photos of the sear if you’re willing to post them.
1 hour ago, Navgunner said:The factory FN FNC safety trip (auto sear) is different from what S&H arms made for their registered sears. Also, registered receiver guns had an assortment of different geometries too (PHX Arms, Fleming, HardTimes, etc.). All of this factors into where/how the pocket is cut into the lower. Then you’ll need to weld a trip in the bolt carrier assembly and cut it for “timing”.
Give me a PM with your contact information and I’ll give you a couple options for sourcing parts
I knew Fleming made some RR FNCs, but didn’t know about HTA and PHX Arms.
That’s a good question. Not sure if they made changes and what those changes are if they did.
Buy a SCAR sear from Midwest Gun Works.

He did not go into detail. I’ll ping him again and see if he can give more details.

$47500. Not sure if that includes premiums. If the premium put it at $57k, that seems at/slightly below market value.
The mg42 went cheap.

I share MPFiveO’s sentiment on all of the Keyosian guns. Not worth the risk for me. Also that price is silly.

Roger is a standup guy. I’ve bought many things from him over the years.
Ah yes, I was mistakenly thinking f5 is only LE agency to SOT.
It’s odd that the form5 has a photo box.
5 hours ago, pstidan said:Josh; Have you ever seen the SIG tool used to remove the old buttpad? I have heard of such a tool, but I have never seen one. I'm sure if a picture of the tool is published someone here in the US can make one.
I have not. A friend has and I reached out to him. He’s going to send some pics.
He said he used automotive trim removing tools and they worked well and did not damage the plastic, that if you are lucky the old rubber just falls apart and is not difficult .
I’ve not had to remove any. But replacement Swiss buttpads are available on Gunbroker. It’s wise to stock up (pun intended) on a few.

Very nice. What are the details of the 240’ish mods to the 1919?
